WHOLE BODY EXERCISE
Raise the arms above the head, alongside the ears, then bring them
down with a steady sweep, without bending the knees, until the fingers
touch the floor. Be sure to relax the muscles of the neck and allow
the head to hang.
Place the hands upon the breast and drop the head backward, a
little to one side, then bend the body backward as far as possible.
Curve the right arm above the head, toward the left shoulder, and
allow the weight of the body to rest on the left leg, the right foot
being carried slightly outward. Allow the body to bang down as far as
possible on the left side, without straining too much. Then verse the
movement.
STRETCHING.
Is quite a luxury, but few people know how to do it.
Stand upright in position, then raise raise yourself on the tips of
your toes and try your best to touch the ceiling. You will appreciate
this exercise as a relaxation.
THE ART OF STANDING PROPERLY
Is only imperfectly understood by the majority of people, and yet it
is the key to a graceful carriage, an accomplishment that most people
desire to possess, especially ladies. Observe the difference between
the correct and the incorrect methods.
